Chapter 32 Huashan Performance
"I'm willing too!" Wu Xiaoqian followed closely.
It's sure you don't feel well, but it's okay if you can't go.
The work of video archiving was a big job, and the office found a computer that had been retired from the Cultural Affairs Bureau, and only the two of them could operate it.
Archiving is a long-term task, and the camera team is only responsible for recording, not archiving, and they have to do the specific work.
"Okay, you guys do a good job. Liu Xingwu comforted.
Everyone walked out of Hugou Primary School, and when they were about to get to the bus, Zhang Delin seemed to remember something, and he said: "I have something to do, why don't you go first." ”
"Master, what are you going to do?" Zhang He asked.
"I'm going to see Dehai. Zhang Delin said slowly, with some sadness on his face.
Without waiting for anyone to answer, Zhang Delin walked alone towards the hillside behind the village.
"Liu Xingwu, you tell the driver, I'll take a look. Zhang He hurriedly said.
With that, he chased after him.
Several old men of Zhang Jiade's generation followed Zhang Delin and walked over, followed by Zhang He.
Looking at the backs of the old people, Liu Xingwu felt as if he had been touched, and ran to the bus to say hello to the driver.
It's still early, Hugou Village is not far from Huashan, and the driver is not in a hurry.
Zhang He followed Zhang Delin to the hillside behind the village, and the old artists came to Zhang Dehai's grave.
Several old men looked solemn and stood behind Zhang Delin.
Zhang Delin is the class leader, the boss, and their eldest brother.
Zhang Delin slowly squatted down, looking at the handwriting engraved on the tombstone, his eyes were shining.
"Dehai, the old man can't die, we will help you fulfill your wish. Zhang Delin said in a deep voice.
"We're going to Huashan to perform, we never went when you were there, if it weren't for Xiao He and Xiao Liu of the Cultural Bureau, we probably wouldn't have been able to go. ”
"Now the old tone is also the country's intangible cultural heritage, all the songs we have sung have been saved, even if we all die in the future, the old tone is still there, Dehai, you can go, wait for us below, wait for us to sing enough, come down and sing with you." ”
After saying these words, Zhang Delin stood up, he stretched out his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes, his eyes were red.
"Let's go. Zhang Delin waved his hand, and the old people behind him were already moistening their eyes.
Zhang He looked at this scene and took a deep breath.
Zhang Dehai didn't see this scene, but if he could see it and hear it, he would be very relieved.
The group left the hillside and walked towards the entrance of the village.
On the yellow earth, the tomb stood there, and only the handwriting on the tombstone told the people who came to be buried here.
The bus stopped at the entrance of the village, and the car was arranged by the Huashan Administration, so that as many people could sit down.
The old artists put the instruments in wooden boxes and put them on their laps.
Zhang Yusheng's musical instrument is also the Yueqin, after joining, there are more Yueqin players in the performance team, only Zhang Delin played the Yueqin before, but now after one more person, the layering of the Yueqin will also come out.
At the beginning of the National Day holiday in 2000, it was decided to take the rest time of the Spring Festival, "May Day" and "Eleventh Day" with four days on the two weekends and three days on the statutory holiday, thus forming a seven-day long holiday.
Since the beginning of the "National Day Golden Week" in the first year, the tourism boom of the National Day holiday has swept the country every year, which is a major measure to stimulate domestic demand and promote consumption.
As one of the five mountains in the Chinese civilization, Xiyue Huashan is also an important destination for tourists to choose during the National Day holiday.
The fact that the old man can perform here will play a great role in publicity, and it is also a recognition of the status of the old man.
When everyone came to Huashan, the words "Intangible Cultural Heritage Show" had been hung on the big poster in front of the door.
The Qin dialect is an intangible cultural heritage, and the old dialect is also an intangible cultural heritage, and there are performances in Huashan.
It is said that it is an intangible cultural heritage performance, and it cannot be said that it is wrong.
Many tourists who come to Huashan are frightened by such a name, and they want to see the intangible cultural heritage show after inquiring at the ticket office for a long time.
The word intangible cultural heritage is broadcast on TV every day, and almost no one does not know about intangible cultural heritage, but the specific meaning of intangible cultural heritage is not very clear to the ordinary people.
Everyone is curious, and it's impossible not to be curious.
Tickets for the show sold out quickly.
In the morning, everyone arrived in Huashan, and Wang Zhong personally went out to receive them.
A room was specially arranged for the old artists to rest, and then a meal at noon was eaten in the canteen in Huashan.
The big pot of rice in the canteen is cheap and affordable, all of which are Guanzhong dishes, and the old artists can eat them.
Everyone sat at the table, chatting and eating.
"There are still a lot of tourists this year, and we put out the name of intangible cultural heritage when we advertised it earlier, and some tourists came not only to climb the mountain, but to watch your performance. Wang Zhong said with a smile.
"It's also an honor to have these tourists. Zhang He responded.
There is no shortage of quyi lovers in China, and there are many quyi lovers who spontaneously organize activities and go to the whole country to watch quyi performances at their own expense.
It is precisely because of these people that many small songs have not died out and have persisted to this day.
"The show starts at 2 p.m. and ends at 6 p.m., three hours, and I've given you an hour to perform. Wang Zhong said in a deep voice.
"So much?" Liu Xingwu didn't expect at all.
The four-hour performance time was specially given to them an hour, which is not to be taken lightly.
You must know that Huashan's performances are not only quyi, but also singing, dancing, sketches and other performances, which all take time.
"I still think an hour is a bit less, and if I don't have time for other shows, I want to let you all perform in the same way, but I don't know if you can last four hours. Wang Zhong said with a smile.
"Don't say four hours, it's forty hours, as long as you dare to let us play, we can play for you!" Zhang Delin said loudly.
"That's it, Director Wang, as long as you speak, it doesn't matter how long you act. Zhang Deyun also smiled.
"Your Huashan Administration Bureau is too underestimated on us, do you think we are scared?" Zhang Demin also smiled.
The attitude of the old artists made Wang Zhong's face full of smiles.
"Ladies and gentlemen, as long as you perform well during this National Day holiday, I will report to the leaders and apply for a special performance for you!" Wang Zhong patted his chest and said.
He is in charge of this, and he has a light on his face after he plays the old man.
What's more, the Huashan Administration is now under the management of the province, and it is natural for the province to support the activities of intangible cultural heritage.
"Lao Wang, what you say counts!" Liu Xingwu said hurriedly.
If this matter is decided, it will be beneficial to Huashan and Lao Yan.
If you want to make the old cavity another business card of Huayin, you can't do without the support and help of Huashan, and the combination of the two complements each other and can go to the next level.
After eating in the cafeteria, everyone went to the performance hall.
Huashan's performance hall is at the foot of the mountain, a hotel banquet hall.
The hotel is also an asset of the Huashan Authority, which also has income from the tourism derivative industry in addition to ticket revenue.
For a scenic spot like Huashan, ticket revenue alone cannot support the high cost of scenic spot maintenance.
When the old artists come backstage, they don't have to change their clothes like other performances, and the simple clothes they wear are the most suitable for the old-fashioned performance clothes.
Many people in the backstage saw the old artists coming in, and they all came over to inquire about the situation.
"Are you the old performance team?"
"I've seen you on TV, and I was able to listen to it live today. ”
"The order will shake the mountains and rivers, grandpa, look at how I sing this sentence!"
One by one, old artists or young people, they all came over to ask questions.
Zhang Delin and other artists couldn't close their mouths with laughter, how could they have enjoyed such a high degree of attention.
"Sing well, sing well. Zhang Delin said with a smile.
When the time came at two o'clock, the audience was full, and there were hundreds of people.
This is not an ordinary few hundred people, all of them paid for tickets to come in, this is the real people who are willing to pay for art.
The development of art needs money, and the lives of artists need money, and it is absolutely impossible to do without money.
The old artists were not nervous, but Liu Xingwu was nervous.
This was the first time that Lao Yan had performed on stage with so many people, and there were many foreign tourists in the audience.
Can these tourists understand what is being sung? Surely they can't.
Can tourists from other places understand?
The old dialect is sung in dialects, and I am afraid that few people can understand it except for the locals.
used to perform at the People's Theater, and the audience was full of local leaders, and everyone knew dialects, but now most of the audience are foreign tourists, and Liu Xingwu's heart is also a little drumming.
The old-fashioned performance is arranged to start at three o'clock, sing until four o'clock, what to sing in the middle, free play, Huashan Administration Bureau does not make hard and fast rules.
When the previous performance is over, the host goes up to announce the curtain.
The following performance is a national intangible cultural heritage, from the old performance troupe of Delin Class in Hugou Village. ”
The voice fell, and the audience was in an uproar.
"I'm here specifically for the old talk, and I've only listened to it on TV for a few minutes, so it's not enjoyable at all!"
"Finally, it's time to see what intangible cultural heritage is. ”
"Isn't it just a singing opera, if there's anything good, I have to listen to it. ”
Some are curious, some are excited, some are disdainful.
Some people were hard-pulled to watch it, and they weren't interested in opera in the first place.
The host walked off the stage, and the lights on the stage dimmed.
"Master, come on!" Zhang He gestured.
Zhang Delin smiled, and stretched out two fingers, like an old child.
Everyone walked onto the stage with a musical instrument in one hand and a bench in the other.
Seeing this group of actors dressed no different from old farmers, the audience under the stage became even more lively.
"You can't be dressed like you've just come back from the field, is it?" someone wondered.
It's just that no one answered them.
Zhang Delin is in the center, sitting on the bench, his legs are naturally apart, and Yueqin is on his left leg.
Zhang Yusheng sat next to him, accompanied by Yueqin.
The audience also fell silent, waiting for Huayin's old performance.
"Military Academy!" Zhang Delin shouted.
"Eh!" everyone echoed in unison.
The audience was boiling.
